Playlist Backups

[WaltR]

I have about a dozen playlists. I notice that hoster keeps backing them up. I have to go in and delete them every once in a while. I haven't found a way to turn this off. Is it possible to set hoster not to back up a playlist?

i think you have to uncheck " keep songs after play" under tools.. my playlist gets deleted after a song is played...

I don't want to delete the playlist, I just don't want hoster to continue to backup the playlist. I need to keep the playlist for the shows I do.

i don't really know what you meant by hoster backing up your playlist, i thought you meant that the songs remains in the playlist after it played , or everytime you opened up hoster..i have never heard hoster backing up playlist before..

Because I don't have the setting to delete the songs after they play, hoster saves them as and example, def001; def002.hst, etc. I save my playlist under a name that I will recognize in the future like "elvis show.hst". I don't know what def001 is until I open it. I use windows explorer to access the playlist and delete the ones I don't want (def001). What I meant was, is there anyway to keep hoster from backing the playlist up by naming them hoster default's as described above?

after your show click "file-> save as" and name it anything you like.
Anytime you click "file-> new" you will get a blank playlist using a default name such as def001. The playlist is designed so that any change is made immediately so if you make changes after renaming it, the renamed .hst file will record those changes.
